The National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, is preparing to host a commemoration for the centennial of World War I in Europe. The event, dubbed World War I Dawn Patrol Rendezvous, is set to take place Sept. 27-28. It will feature vintage model airplanes, “such as the Nieuport, SE-5, and Fokker Dr. I triplane,” states a July 9 release. The museum has boasted it as one of America’s “premier historical aviation events.” The festivities will include pilots performing precision flying and participating in a flour-bombing competition, a WWI reenactment, and a parade of automobiles from that generation. The museum will also have an exhibition of WWI radio-controlled aircraft, games, simulators, and a collector’s show of items from the war. The last WWI Dawn Patrol Rendezvous took place in the fall of 2011, states the release.
The Sentinel Launch Support System, the digital backbone for testing the new intercontinental ballistic missile over its expected 50-year life, has completed critical design review, Northrop Grumman said Oct. 20.
